Then, an adaptive parameter estimator is proposed to estimate the unknown nonlinear system parameters. Considering the online estimating error from the estimation model and nonlinear system model, a state estimation based feedback controller is derived by the proposed adaptive FNNs sliding mode control scheme and free parameters can be updated online by adaptive laws based on Lyapunov stability theorem. The proposed control scheme can guarantee that the unknown nonlinear system output can track to the states of reference model for any desired input signals when the stability condition is satisfied. Finally, simulation examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.","PeriodicalId":145129,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 14th International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC)","volume":"22 12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133192480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Motivated by the fast pace at which news feeds are published, we envision the increasing need for efficient and accurate mechanisms for bias detection.

In such a frame, autonomous vehicles could conveniently carry on the repetitive measurements with a significant reduction in risk and costs. Looking specifically at the quality of the air, both terrestrial and aerial platforms could be used; yet the best solution would be their combined use. This research proposes indeed a monitoring system composed by wheeled rover, obviously extendable to more vehicles. These platforms map the state and the evolution of the pollution by means of a set of sensors (measuring LPE, CO, CO2, CH4, H2, NH4) purposely developed.

As a new privacy protection framework, differential privacy can provide privacy protection to the data. But the uniform grid method based on differential privacy has not considered the density and the sparsity of the data distribution, query deviation is too large. Therefore, this paper proposes a differential privacy data publishing method based on cell merging. To solve the problem of sparse data density and better balance noise deviation and uniform assumptions deviation, the paper gives the corresponding data partition algorithm, data merging algorithm. The accuracy and efficiency of the algorithm are compared with the uniform grid method and the adaptive grids approach algorithms, and the results show that it can keep the data validity and reduce the deviation of the query, at the same time,it has the higher accuracy and efficiency.","PeriodicalId":145129,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 14th International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC)","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115816963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, technology has become a trend that affect the patients' needs for requesting an innovation, low cost and flexible system in order to be aware in the change of their physiological and non-physiological body parameters. To provide this demand, HealthMate system is proposed as a solution for real-time health monitoring system that is based on Smart Wearable System for Health Monitoring (SWSHM). This paper is aimed at providing a health monitoring system for patients to measure their body parameters through e-Health sensors via smart phone and enabling doctors to check the health status of their patients remotely. Our solution allows patients to measure their body physiological and non-physiological parameters using body temperature, electrocardiogram, pulse and oxygen in blood, airflow and body position sensors. In addition, by using internet technologies, XBee wireless (802.15.4), and SMS to transmit measured patients body parameters to either mobile application or database on a cloud server, where artificial intelligence is accomplished to examine the data in order to notify health professions in emergency case using SMS services or e-mail.","PeriodicalId":145129,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 14th International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC)","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124787618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Varying degrees of intelligence are often required for supporting adaptation and self-management—yet, they should be provided in a light-weight, easy to use and customise, highly-interoperable way. Accordingly, in this paper we explore the idea of Logic Programming as a Service (LPaaS) as a novel and promising re-interpretation of distributed logic programming in the IoT era. After introducing the reference context and motivating scenarios of LPaaS as a key enabling technology for intelligent IoT, we define the LPaaS general system architecture. Then, we present a prototype implementation built on top of the tuProlog system, which provides the required interoperability and customisation. We showcase the LPaaS potential through a case study designed as a simplification of the motivating scenarios.","PeriodicalId":145129,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 14th International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129183834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While prior works focus on boosting both the prediction accuracy and computation efficiency of original LF model by adding linear biases to it, the individual and combinational effects by linear biases in such performance gain remains unclear. To address this issue, this work thoroughly investigates the effect of prior linear biases and training linear biases. We have investigated the parameter update rules and training processes of an LF model with different combinations of linear biases. Empirical validations are conducted on a high dimensional and sparse matrix from industrial systems currently in use. The results show that each linear bias does have positive/negative effects in the performance of an LF model. Such effects are partially data dependent; however, some linear biases like the global average can bring stable performance gain into an LF model. The theoretical and empirical results along with analysis provide guidance in designing the bias scheme in an LF model for recommender systems.","PeriodicalId":145129,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 14th International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121487731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
